Interesting facts:
» In the 1960s, France was looking for a suitable jet aircraft for advanced military pilot training. The United Kingdom and Germany were looking for the same solution. Coincidentally, the leaders of the countries responsible for development met during an air show in France.
» Ultimately, as usual, the United Kingdom went its own way, and thus the lightweight training Hawk was created.
» On August 21, 1974, the first prototype T.Mk 1 took off, assembled in the factories of Hawker Siddeley.
» The design of the Hawk jet aircraft resembled machines of the same category, but in one parameter it absolutely surpassed all competition.
» Hawker managed to build an aircraft with long service life and, above all, with the lowest flight hour costs in the world. 
» It was a huge hit. Many countries were waiting for such a machine.
» After officially entering operational service in the Royal Air Force in 1976, the manufacturer received orders from countries such as Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Finland, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, the USA, and others.
» In addition to training jet pilots, the Finnish Air Force, for example, uses Hawks as light attack aircraft due to their high payload capacity.
» A total of more than 900 units were produced in 10 different versions.
